Season Two kicks off with a bang! 🎉
Host Brayden Lee reunites with his "sister from another mister" Jewel Vincent (Modern Day Social) for their one year anniversary and let's just say, many martinis have been consumed since their first meeting.
Fresh off scaling her team and niching down hard into hair and beauty, Jewel spills the tea on why she ditched the vanity metrics obsession, how she's building a business that actually matters, and the loyalty program strategies that are keeping salons booked solid.
Between celebrity silhouette games, behind the scenes chaos, and some seriously candid business advice, this episode proves that the best partnerships happen when you stop trying so hard and just let the magic unfold.
Warning: Contains unfiltered friendship energy and way too many inside jokes. You've been warned 😅
